The Course

J L Carey Jr
Somewhere in time
- we will meet.
In the granulate earth
- we will meet.

And the filtering sand
tumbles in the hour glass
of our bound immolation

To unbind these minerals,
the water bloated carbon
of our conscious vessel.

Bumping,
- grinding,
-- exchanging radicals,

- we will meet
In a purified state.
- we will meet
Somewhere in time.
